Favorite character(s) in an RPG

[Goromorg]

It is strange but my favourite characters are from an ARPG, not RPGs.

Spoiler

Piety of Theopolis

Lady Dialla, the Gemling Queen

Malachai, the Nightmare

Emperor Izaro Phrecius

UHHHH, SORRY, I GOT LOST IN THOUGHT

 

[Lord_Potato]

There are some great and memorable:

Spoiler

 

[canakin]

Pretty much every named dwarf from The Witcher series. Shadow, Gus and Lynx from JA2. (do they count as npcs tho?) Cassidy from Fallout 2.

 

[Dorateen]

Crandall Smithers from the Village of Crowl.

It's hard not to love Owyn's youthful energy in BAK. Jimmy the Hand is another character I liked a lot as well, always trying to keep a straight path but falling back into mischief. I guess it's the way they provided the humour and lightness in an otherwise tense setting that made them stand out so much for me. That scene with Owyn trying to learn how to walk stealthily from an elf is amongst the most memorable in any game I've ever played.

Brad from LISA the painful is one that's worth remembering as well. The unfolding of what his persona entails as one advances and develops further into what he'll become by the end of the game is very nicely done I think. You truly get to empathize and feel the weight of his choices; not many games manage to pull that off.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Vagrant Story characters

Yeah, they're all pretty great, so I'm having difficulties picking a favorite or two.
But maybe I go with Romeo Guildenstern here.

 

[octavius]

Boy or a lady (with false beard)? I don't know which.

 

[Jacob]

Morte.

Spoiler

A companion backstabbing you is usually just boring, but "don't trust the skull" gave me genuine shivers.

Also Ravel. The whole build-up to meeting her is fantastic and the dialogue with her manages to live up to it. Kind of hard to choose your favorites from the PS:T cast, though. I also really like Kaelyn the Dove from MotB (Gann too, but what the hell is up with his hair?) and BROche from Twitcher 2. Anachronox has a bunch of cool characters but it's hard to name just one.

I've never played PS:T past the Mortuary and I accidentally clicked on this...
...
......
Oh well, I have books and movies anyway.

 

[mondblut]

The middle left one in Wizardry 7.

As far as the Gothic series goes, I always liked Lee.

I've always liked how they introduced Lee in 1.

When every person in charge of some faction in this game tries so hard to give you problems just so you can see them, the guards guarding Lee simply said that Lee doesn't need protection, he's badass enough already.

New camp traitors!

Also, Jeanette from VtmB because she has such a nice pair of... personalities.

Yeah, although Velvet Velour has bigger personalities. And she's the living proof that you can manipulate players (not just characters) like marionette. To this day Codexers desperately want to believe that VV love us...
... despite she has us being her errand boy FOR FREE.

We just expected to be rewarded with sex. But wymmynz being wymmynz.

 

[laclongquan]

Like, they think a few poems can replace that...

 

[ERYFKRAD]

New camp traitors!

Old camp scum. Have fun getting buttfucked by Bloodwyn in exchange for protection ore.

 

[vota DC]

Unusually Ruthless Reuban

Pokey Minch

 

[Master]

Kreia

She really stuck out. Though i haventh played a couple of other famous storyfaggy games(PST, MOTB). But i doubt she can be topped.

edit

Vollinger from Arcanum

nomination for best introduction

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

I think I generally prefer characters from those central/eastern European games like Gothic and the Witcher where your companions are just some bros who act like bros.

 

[Apostle Hand]

Haer Dalis from BG2, Viconia, Korgan, Sarevok...

 

[Naraya]

One of mine:

 

[Martyr]

Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus, the Jedi Exile(<---dark side of the force)

 

[Lhynn]

Haer Dalis

Really? that massive faggot?

 

[Apostle Hand]

By end game he has -12 armor class, -3 thaco in main hand and -5 in off hand and has 100 hitpoints.

 

[Okagron]

Listening to the awesome "Battle at the Big Bridge" theme from FF5 made me remember that i love this character. He's kind of dumb, but lovable somehow.
